Also-rans
Lunavia Antifungal Pen (asin B0DV12HJQX) and TARO Terbinafine Hydrochloride antifungal Cream (asin B07L5T2KHP) did not make the top picks due to their higher prices and mixed reviews. Lunavia's unique applicator and high concentration of Undecylenic Acid are offset by its $40.76 price tag and 4.1/5 rating from 6356 owners. TARO's more expensive option at $35.10, despite a 4.6/5 rating from 906 owners, is hard to justify given the lower-priced alternatives.
